Take control, save time
and the environment.

Take control over the chaos and enjoy order

Plan new classes choosing from the ready materials for drilling English grammar and vocabulary through speaking. Choose your student’s proficiency level and the grammar structure or vocabulary you want to focus on. The exercise collection constantly expands and covers topics referring to the changing world.

Save time preparing engaging classes at all levels

No copies, let's save the environment together 🙂

Say “no” to copies and save a lot of trees! Using Lingstar means: no more printing, cutting out, or laminating! Unfortunately, paper production is characterised by an enormous CO2 footprint, so reducing paper use, even partially, will directly limit deforestation and CO2 emission. It's a win-win situation for you and Earth.
